Disability Riders

Participate in the joys and the freedom of horse riding at Maywood. We have specialised NDIS approved trainers available that will work with you to cater a program best to you.

Fresh air, fun and friendship are 3 things that might come to mind when you think of horse riding. But there are many more benefits outlined below.
